About

The Sax-Zim Bog is home to a diverse set of plant communities and within those communities are a wide diversity of butterflies and moths that have specialized relationships with those plants.

This field trip will explore the “early season” diversity of butterflies in the Sax-Zim Bog, many of which are specialists on bog dwelling plant species. These early season butterflies also have short flight periods, making this window of time perfect for these awesome bugs! Species we hope to see include 3-4 species of elfin, Jutta Arctic, Frieja Fritillary, and maybe even Red-disked Alpine or Frigga Fritillary!

Field Trip attendance is free for members (those who have donated $25 or more within the past year). If you are interested in membership, the $25 fee covers membership and free entry to any field trip or program in a 12-month period! Sign up at saxzim.org/events/
